| Popis: | A triple-layer QM/sQM/MM method was developed for accurately describing the excited-state molecular interactions between chromophore and the molecular environment (Hasegawa, J.; Yanai, K.; Ishimura, K. ChemPhysChem 2015, 16, 305). A first-order-interaction space (FOIS) was defined for the interactions between QM and secondary QM (sQM) regions. Moreover, configuration interaction singles (CIS) and its second-order perturbation theory (PT2) calculations were performed within this space. In this study, numerical implementation of this FOISPT2 method significantly reduced the computing time, which realized application to solvatochromic systems, p-coumaric acid in neutral ( p-CA) and anionic forms in aqueous solution, retinal Schiff base in methanol (MeOH) solution, and bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The results were consistent with the experimentally observed absorption spectra of the applied systems. The QM/sQM/MM result for the opsin shift was in better agreement to the experimental result than that of the ordinary QM/MM. A decomposition analysis was performed for the excited-state molecular interactions. Among the electronic interactions, charge-transfer (CT) effect, excitonic interaction, and dispersion interaction showed significant large contributions, while the electronic polarization effect presented only minor contribution. Furthermore, the result was analyzed to determine the contributions from each environmental molecule and was interpreted based on the distance of the molecules from the π system in the chromophores. |
